Frog gut bacteria eliminate tumors in mice

Japanese tree frog gut bacteria show potential to fight cancer, eliminating tumors in mice with a single dose. Researchers found one bacterial strain, Ewingella americana, effectively eradicated tumors and prevented recurrence in mice by attacking cancer cells and boosting the immune system. This discovery, published in Gut Microbes, highlights biodiversity's medical potential, though human trials require extensive safety testing due to potential infection risks.
